Taming the Modern Datacenter, Mitchell Hashimoto, Hashicorp

look at the future of CM systems using Terraform, moving up a level from managing per-machine resources, enabling Infrastructure as Code for the modern distributed data center (mix of IaaS like AWS/DO, PaaS like Heroku, and SaaS for things like DNS and email); I'm a bit skeptical all the complexity of Terraform is significantly better than a minimal layer of glue code to wire up different APIs together.. still interesting though
